B r O k E n

There is a place so secret no one knows its name.

the art of floating begins with the internal dialog

what is left

trapped but alive

dream in fragments

see no evil

hear no evil

speak no evil

broken

speaking none of what's inside

no is an exercise of self

mock the screaming

cognitive dissonance, etc

skepticism is a deadly disease

the cage

caught

shut

the one piece

Creating images that moves the viewer is far more deeper than just aesthetics! I think that you are successful and this series is a testament for that achievement! GMV!

Hi there, I think there are elements in this gallery that give us a good hint at what you are really capable of...for example...'Who' is an excellent stand alone image requiring the viewer to enter into an internal dialogue as to its purpose and function. I also think its strength comes from being not too explicit. A personal preference..for me, the images with less post processing are by far the cleaner and most powerful. Its good to see you moving away from where you have been and working towards your own style.
Cheers

Aloha, Bravo. You have my attention. More. Bobby

I saw the thumb of the final image first, and left a long comment on it for you, Aloha. Now that I see the entire sequence, I see how perfectly it fits. The preceding images all add a bit of context, but none are as abstract, or as thought provoking in their own right as the stunning final image. I agree with David that this sequence is a major step forward, a huge step forward for you as an artist. In this sequence, you place major responsibility on your viewers to use their own imaginations and see whatever they may see in it. It is far more abstract and emotionally substantive than what you've been working on. Tricia says it beautifully -- you are a story teller here, as opposed to a photographic technician or illustrator. If this is the direction you wish to follow, you have taken a giant step here, Aloha.

Guest 25-May-2007 13:32
You definitely have my vote here.

Guest 25-May-2007 10:12
excellent and indeed , more please.

flowsnow 25-May-2007 05:08
I can sense you emerging as a very good story teller in your portraiture shooting journey. Very creative and unique in style. Something different from the rest of the portraiture settings of beautiful face, fanciful attire and pose. You try to engage your viewers to see your point of view and in here I already feel it. Bravo Aloha.

Guest 25-May-2007 03:56
This is even more engaging. More please, Aloha! GMV.

Latifa Messaoudi 25-May-2007 03:35

david procter 25-May-2007 03:34

Far more creative and original then anything you've done before.
A well presented series which has substance and continuity.
You have to find your own style !
